FDA breakup
Executive Summary
Separation of drug and devices from food and cosmetics was never recommended by Lasagna Committee. The Nov. 5 issue of "The Pink Sheet" (T&G-3) implied that former FDA Commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes said that the Lasagna Committee had recommended a split up of the FDA centers. In a Nov. 26 letter to "The Pink Sheet," committee chairman Louis Lasagna, MD, states that "no such recommendations were ever entertained by the Lasagna Committee".
